So, if you think something is wrong with the title of this chapter, there is. There is something very, very, very wrong.

This chapter is dedicated to the infamous mistake of using the wrong form of "your".

This is something that I am also very picky about. Now, I'm not as picky about this as I am with commas, because commas are obviously my favorite thing in the world, but this mistake still annoys the hell out of me.

Now, if you don't really know the difference, I will simply tell you.

When to use the word "your":

Use this if you are talking about someone having possession of something.

Examples:

Your socks.

Your hair.

Your One Direction tickets.

(You better hide those tickets girl, someone might take them.)

If you were to use this incorrectly, and accidentally used the form you're, this is basically saying.

You're socks = you are socks.

You're hair = you are hair.

You're One Direction tickets = You are One Direction tickets.

(Now, if you actually are One Direction tickets, I'd suggest you run and hide because people may or may not go hunger games style trying to attain you. Yeah, I would do it.)

This is how to correctly use "You're":

You're pretty.

You're amazing.

You're Jc Caylen.

(If you are Jc Caylen, I would suggest that you start running now because, well.... We all want you okay?)

This is what it would mean if you were to use the wrong form.

Your pretty = pretty is something you own.

Your amazing = amazing is in your possession.

Your Jc Caylen = Jc Caylen belongs to you.

(Yeah, everyone wants to own Jc Caylen, but sadly, none of us do, so this form of Your is very incorrect.)

If this still confuses you, here is a small example of how not to use Your and You're.

~

"Anne, is this you're cow?" Ricky asks the petite girl he adored, speaking about the cow in the back yard.

Anne gasps, turning and slapping Ricky in the face. "How dare you call me a cow! Your so insensitive!" The insecure girl says, tears coming to her eyes.

"I don't have an insensitive!" Ricky yells back, not completely sure why she thinks he called her a cow.

~

Ah, so remember, use the right form so that you do not accidentally call someone a cow, because I doubt anyone would take that very well.

#4 Use the correct form of You're/Your so that you won't accidentally call someone a cow.

And now to the reviews!

Today, I will be talking about he book, Into the Sky by ItsFrantasticMonday.

Now, this story is just getting started but she was one of te first people to ask me to review her book, which is why she is getting featured in this chapter!

This storyline seems to follow a girl named Sky (short for Skylar) as she meets some fellow youtubers (namely: Connor Franta) and gets to go to VidCon!

Now, that's as far as I've gotten seeing as that's as far as the book has been updated, but I will continue to read it and I hope you all will go check it out!

Chapter-ly Grammar Joke:

(This one actually makes me laugh so hard and goes along with this chapter, so please excuse the language and don't be offended because it's hilarious.)

Q: What is Grammar?

A: The difference between knowing your shit, and knowing you're shit.

Admit it, this made you laugh out loud. It did me.

One second I'm actually laughing really hard.

Alright, well until next time...

Love y'all. Happy Writing!
